You're spending around $20,000 a year to go to a crappy high school pretending to be a university.

The school itself sucks; it's ran by some old timers who have no intention of ever improving the school. The campus itself feels like a run-down high school and the technology here is behind 10 years. The degree here is worthless; absolutely no name recognition whatsoever. You'd be much, much better off going to Texas A&M, UT Austin, or even Texas State. At those schools you would get a marketable degree for 1/5th of the cost at TLU. Lots of companies in Texas have never even heard of TLU.

The kids here for the most part have a small town cliquish mentality. It's not a college environment where you get to befriend lots of new people. Most students here have their parents footing the bill and they don't really care that the cost of the school far exceeds what their salaries will be, assuming that they can get a job after TLU.

Seguin is a terrible town; the only reason I give it a D- instead of a F is because it's close proximity to San Antonio, Austin, and San Marcos. But you shouldn't have to go to other towns to have fun. Furthermore, Seguin is a huge drug town. Supposedly it's a halfway point for shipments of drugs coming and going to Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and DFW.

I transferred to A&M. There are so many schools in Texas that offer so much more for less money that it's foolish to even consider TLU.
